I was able to get away for a quick girls' trip to Chicago this past weekend, and had an amazing time. On Saturday, we visited Millennium Park, and learned how to do some very novice Chicago steppin' at the SummerDance Festival. Going off of the 90 degree weather in NYC, I packed tons of shorts and breezy tanks - but they don't call this "The Windy City" for nothing - it was way chillier than expected! Luckily, I threw my thrifted camo jacket in my bag (mostly for the plane), but it definitely came in handy. With my favorite pop of color lace up sandals, it was the perfect walking (and steppin') outfit. See below for outfit details - and a few "must haves" I throw in my bag for a day out.
